# Dryer error code H2 / B2

### What H2 / B2 means on this make

The dryer is seeing a supply outside what it can work with and has stopped. The maker’s instruction here is blunter than anywhere else on its list — call the power company — and that tells you what it thinks the cause is: not the appliance, and not the installation either, but the supply arriving at the building. On a 240-volt machine the commonest version is one leg missing, which is why a dryer with this code often shares a house with a stove that has gone half-dead at the same time. That coincidence is diagnostic and worth mentioning when you call anybody.

### The other ways this one is printed

H2 / B2 · H2 · B2

The same condition is printed differently on different panels of the same make, and every spelling the maker publishes for it is above. Whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display, as a short single code — a letter and a number, or two letters. Nothing alternates and nothing arrives in halves on this make, so what the panel shows is the whole of it. Photograph it before you cut the power. This maker’s own answer to most of these is thirty seconds at the breaker, and that is worth following once — but a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again.

### What to do about it

- Check whether anything else on 240 volts has gone strange at the same time — the range, the water heater, the air handler. A lost leg takes them together.
- Look at the breaker for the dryer: reset it once, fully off and back on, and no more than once.
- If other 240-volt appliances are affected, the maker’s own answer applies and it is the utility, not us.
- If the dryer alone is affected and the breaker holds, have the circuit checked before booking an appliance repair — it saves a visit that finds nothing.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 912-9018](tel:+13059129018) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
